Maximin Grünhauser Herrenberg Spätlese Riesling
Auslese #93. cool and precise with stewed apple, slate and a hint of oyster shells. Good salinity and a poached orchard fruit core. Good balance and length with lovely soft fruit.

Oct 18th, 2024Gorgeous aromas of honey, camphor, beeswax, orange pith, pink grapefruit and bergamot. There’s only a faint hint of petrol, which barely warrants a comment but for the fact it’s Mosel Riesling we’re drinking here.
Palate is sweet but light on its feet, with a slight bitter orange edge to the mouthfeel. It’s rich, but airy at the same time - that unique quality of Mosel Riesling.
A hedonistic Riesling, utterly drinkable in its prime.

Has aged beautifully. Finally found the right moment to open, German Grandparents in town
The vigor of its youth has calmed into silky adulthood. Perfectly balanced. Not a hard edge to be found.

There's something uncanny about the "HERRENBERG" vineyard in most warm, opulent years such as this 2007--pink grapefruit, passion fruit, lime peel etc...a tropical fruit bowl that soars out of the glass at you--a magical, sensory experience--WOW!!!
